Previously, on
"Black Lightning"...

The Markovians
are on the outskirts of Freeland

and they're marshalling
their forces.

Speaking Russian...

The Markovians
want to capture

or kill as many metas
as possible.

Markovians breached
the compound.

- Put Freeland on lock down.
- Copy.

Me, Reverend Holt,
and a handful of other people,

we started up our own
underground railroad.

We've been sneaking metas
and suspected metas

outside the perimeter.

What happened?

We got ambushed.

They hit us with
some kind of poison.

It can't be.

This poison is...

breaking down
your cells faster

than anything
I have ever seen.

What're you doing

- in my apartment?
- Don't dash it, perv.

Why do you have photos
of my mom?

It's not even like that.

What the hell was that?

Why is my life
always so messed up?

The medicine
isn't working anymore.

So I'm shapeshifting
left and right.

I thought getting
my feelings out in this video

would help me stabilize, but...

I'm so scared.

Grace. Hey, hey,
what happened?

I keep shifting
all day.

I can't control it,
I don't know what's happening.

Okay,

I've got you, Grace.

Now your emotional state,
it causes you to shift,

so you've gotta calm down.

You wanna do
our routine together?

Okay?

- Shonda.
- Yes, Anissa.

Play relaxation program.

Come on.

Breathe in and out, okay?

You're safe here.

Just listen to
the sound of nature.

Smell the trees

and flowers.

As you sink your feet...

..to firm, green earth.

All those fears
that you have

bundled up inside...

..let 'em go.

Breathe,
let them all out.

See?
It works every time.

Shonda.

End relaxation program.

Program ended.

You're not always
gonna be around

to talk me down like that.

Where am I gonna be?

Oh, snap.

So you plannin'
on breaking up with me?

You so cold,
but you so

- fine, come here.
- Look, I'm serious, Anissa.

I heard the ASA's
going door to door now.

- If they come here...
- They won't come here.

And that creepy Odell, I mean,
he already paid us a social call.

He could pop back in
any minute

and if I can't control
my shifts...

- Grace, Grace, Grace.
- No.

I won't let
the ASA take you.

Did your powers
come back yet?

Not yet.

But we'll keep you
out of sight

until I figure something out.

All right?

I don't appreciate
being summoned, Gambi.

You obviously
have no more respect

for my work
than Jefferson does.

Did something happened
with the girls?

No, they're fine.

So what's so urgent?

Ever since the ASA had that
fire fight with the Markovians,

the ASA has gone into
overdrive with Jeff

and Anissa smack
in the line of fire.

Now I can't protect them unless
I stay ahead of the ASA's plans.

So I need to access
the ASA's mainframe.

Well, the only way
to do that would be...

Gambi.

The ASA picks me up
in a sedan,

I'm blindfolded
for the entire journey

to and from the Pit,
I have no idea where it is.

I do, that's not what
I need you for.

I need you...

..to sneak in with this.

This Markovian attack
has got the ASA so riled up,

they're going door to door in
Freeland looking for safe houses.

Which will eventually
lead them here.

I know for a fact churches
have protected status

during any military operation.

The ASA is legally prohibited from
stepping one foot inside of this church.

Revered, the ASA don't give a
damn about international law,

and this new chick in charge,
this Major Grey,

she's got ice in her veins.

Look, they've already begun on
the outside edges of the city.

Jamillah's getting
word out on the radio.

How soon before
they reach here?

Not long.

Well, I got something in the works
to breach the reinforced perimeter,

but it's not ready yet.

Well, then, the good Reverend
and I will have to improvise.

Season 03 Episode 07

Title : "The Book of Resistance :
Chapter Two - Henderson's Opus"

Uh, my bad, wrong car.

Jennifer, sorry
to meet like this.

I'm Major Sara Grey.

- ASA.
- Great.

Stranger danger, bye.

Agent Odell was shot
during a Markovian attack,

I'm acting director
of operations.

Thought you'd wanna know since
you two were so closely together.

He always spoke
very highly of you.

- Is he dead?
- Far from it.

He's in the hospital and
expected to make a full recovery.

Getting shot
at his age,

he needs to go ahead
and retire,

start that rideshare
business like I told him.

You know there's
an ancient warrior saying,

"Beware an old man in a profession
where men usually die young."

Odell's as tough as they come,
he'll be back straight away.

Maybe with a woman in charge,

we'll finally get some stuff
done around here.

Let me just go light up the
fools that shot Odell, okay?

- I'll be down with it.
- Absolutely not.

Why the hell not?

Odell said himself that I'm
the best the ASA has, so...

That's exactly why we can't risk
you falling into enemy hands.

So no more
using your powers.

And no more flying.

Are you serious?
Y'all are grounding me?

Like I don't get enough of
that from my parents already.

The Markovian threat is far
greater than we thought, Jennifer.

We have good reason to believe
the Markovians have safe houses

throughout Freeland,
we've already encountered

several of their
embedded mercenaries.

You need to leave this
to the pros.

Trust me.

Okay.

Trust is earned, right?

There's anything I can do to
make this transition easier?

Yeah, actually,
there is something.

Everything the ASA has
on Dr. Jace.

Jace? Why?

Well, if Odell didn't tell you what he
and I were working on regarding Jace,

it's not really my place
to say, right?

I see.

Look, Eddie Munster,
you wanna be besties,

I'm gonna need
the full dossier on Jace, okay?

Package has been delivered.

You sure
this damn thing will work?

Look, I put a diuretic in the
sports drink that Two-Bits gave him.

It won't be long.

Who's over here squishing me?

- Natalie.
- Settle down, y'all.

Don't make me have
to come back there.

Everybody, say a quiet prayer,
you buckle up.

All right, get ready.

All clear.

Damn it!

Let this be a lesson,
my children.

Skin folk
ain't always kin folk.

This negro
just messed us up.

Hey.

Yeah, okay,
nice to see you too.

What's up, man?
What's wrong with you?

Black Lightning
is what's wrong with me.

And yesterday,
he defused a bomb

and screwed up a diversion

we have for
our underground railroad.

What? Wait.

Our underground railroad?

Plan?

So you're involved
with planting that bomb?

I'm more than involved, Jeff,
and I want to bring you in to the fold

but I don't know
exactly where you stand.

Now, one minute,
Black Lightning is roughing up the ASA

over some damn graffiti,
and the next minute,

he's saving the ASA
from a bomb.

Whose side are you on, man?

Wait, you planted a bomb, man,
you could've hurt innocent people.

I controlled the detonator and made
sure no one was in the vicinity.

No, no, you know bombs
misfire all the time.

The shrapnel could've hit
the guard or you.

Or one of the children.

It was a calculated risk, Jeff,
what am I supposed to do.

Let the ASA capture
more metas?

No, of course not,
I'm talking innocent people,

you're talking
a calculated risk?

Are you hearing yourself
right now?

Hate begets hate,
violence begets violence.

And toughness begets
a greater toughness, yeah, man,

I know,
you ain't the only one

who can quote Dr. King
from memory.

Now, look, the ASA, ever since
they came to Freeland,

they have forced me to push their
agenda through press conferences,

they have taken over
my police station.

They got one
of my officers killed.

Yeah, the ASA locked me up.

Poked me like a lab rat,
took me away from my family.

Beat me down in the street.

So I understand
you frustrated,

you're pissed off,
so am I.

But I cannot get down
with your methods, man.

Duly noted for the record.

I'm only trying to do what
I can to protect this city.

Yeah.
By living a double life.

Chief of Police.

Member of the resistance.

Now you remember
how pissed off you were

when I didn't tell you
I was Black Lightning.

Who got the secret now?

Are you seriously trying to compare
me keeping a secret for 30 days

to you keeping a secret
for 30 years?

No, look, the point is,
we gotta get on the same page.

And by same page, you mean doing
things the way you would do them.

Now, look, this "my way or the highway"
mess you run on your daughters,

you can't run on me,
I know what I'm doing.

All I'm saying is that

we-we gotta communicate
our plans with each other.

Oh, okay, great,
so then next time,

Black Lightning
goes out on the street,

he'll give me a call, right?

Huh?

Didn't think so.

Since we can't get on
the same page,

how about you handle the ASA your
way, I'll handle it my way.

No, Henny, Bill!

Guess who showed up
in the nick of time

to short out the bomb.

- Who?
- Black Lightning.

Coincidence? Hell no.
I don't think so.

He's a ASA sell-out.

They are closing in
on us, Blackbird.

I still don't have a way
through the upgraded perimeter.

Well, I pray you get it,
post haste.

The children will stay here
with me hidden until you do.

Gambi, what's the status
on the updated perimeter?

I need a way out now.

That's enough.

Expel your energy.

Mmm-hmm.

Erica's
holding stable at 100%.

Good.

That's great, Dr. Blair
thank you.

Dr. Stewart,
I just wanna say...

what an honor it is for me
to be working alongside you.

- Oh.
- I followed your career for several years.

Your writings published
in the Journal of Neurosurgery

- are...
- Sleep inducing?

Brilliant.

Ground breaking.

You don't strike me as the type of
woman who's interested in accolades

but in my humble opinion,

you deserve it.

All of them.

Uh, well, I'm grateful to have
someone with your credentials

working on my team,

even if you're a shameless
suck up

on your first day.

Can't really help that,
Dr. Stewart.

I was born
with a brown nose.

Stable at 100%.

Excellent.

Is that one of
the Green Light metas?

Yes. Erica Moran.

Absorbed kinetic converted
into raw strength.

Hoo-freakin'-rah.

Are you all right, Erica?

Her output
has dropped to 50%.

- 40%.
- Why? What happened?

I think a meta power
like a muscle,

- if you don't train that muscle...
- It becomes weak.

Exactly.

Metas can't maintain output

at 80% for long
without exhaustion.

Build her stamina,
Dr. Stewart.

Sustained 100% output
is required.

Hold on, Major.

If you want the metas
to be stable for longer,

Dr. Blair and I will need clearance
to all the sectors in this facility

and access to all
meta related files.

You white coats

are the most high maintenance,
annoying...

Fine.

Granted.

On one condition,

you'll have
additional access,

but only to
the Green Light metas.

Wait, why only
the Green Light kids?

Because I said so.

I hope people are swiping
left on her Tinder profile.

I can't believe
I'm saying this,

but she actually makes me
miss Odell.

Would you mind charting all
the vitals from today's testing?

Not at all.

Thank you.

Brandon, I've been looking
everywhere for you.

You mean after you
ghosted me for days?

Okay, look, my bad,
I just needed some time, all right?

This is a lot.

But we need to talk about
what happened at your place.

Which part of
what happened at my place

do you want to talk about,
Jennifer Pierce?

That's really cute, but that's not
gonna raise your cred around here.

My goal was
to lower your cred.

Okay, one, you wish,
and two, why?

Payback.

For what?

I don't know,

you breaking into my place.

And trying to electrocute me?

All right, I'm sorry
for all of that,

but you know I'm trying
to talk about the other thing.

I haven't the slightest idea
of what you're talking about,

like I don't even know,
to be honest.

Attention.

This is a Markovian
attack drill.

I repeat, this is
a Markovian attack drill.

Find a buddy, take cover
and shelter in place

until the "all clear."

All right.
Might as well just...

read.

Seriously, dude?

Dead ass.

We're literally in the middle of an
"In case your worst enemy attacks" drill

in the middle
of an occupation.

Normal stuff like school and
quizzes, it doesn't matter anymore.

Look, I don't have no family,
nothing.

So I'm gonna make my own
with this education,

'cause this occupation thing
won't last.

How do you know?

'Cause nothing ever does.

All right,
screw this drill.

You trying to go smoke?

Nah.

I can help you find Dr. Jace.

How? - You have to do
something for me first though.

What? Wait. Jen, hold up.

You said you can find her?

- They're gonna snatch our asses.
- Hush up, girl.

Now, everybody,
everybody, keep still.

Keep still.

Only by your power

can we push back
our enemies.

- Go! Go! Go!
- Move!

Go. Move!

Only in your name
can we trample our foes.

We are protected
by the blood of Jesus.

The grace of God
is protecting us.

Come on now.

Come on.

Lord!

Lord have mercy, Two-Bits.

About to send your ass
to the promised land.

Hey, man, I was just...

seeing how you all
was holding up.

- Oh...
- I figured y'all would be hungry,

so bought you all some chicken wings,
you know, some fries, you know?

- Snacks.
- It's all right.

Come on, y'all. - Hey, I got a
little something strong for you, Rev.

That's just what I need.

Come on, get something
to eat then.

Get some plates and get some
chicken and some French fries.

- So you got my favorite?
- Yes, sir.

Ah, praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

Okay, so before I come in,
have you...

invited me here just so
you could throw me out?

Yet again?

Dad, come in.

I need your help,
I want you to take my place

escorting the children
out of the perimeter.

You want me to help you
with the underground railroad?

- Yes.
- Okay, first I have to ask...

did you know anything about
Henderson planting a bomb?

Look, I knew he and Reverend
Holt were planning something.

- Reverend Holt too?
- But I did not know the specifics.

So now that you're aware,

what are your intentions?

You're gonna continue
to be a symbol for a movement

that uses those
kind of tactics?

Come on, Anissa,
I taught you better than that.

The ends don't always
justify the means.

Well, if we lived in a world
that was black and white, yes.

But we are living
in an occupation,

and if I'm being honest, I had to
do some things that I'm not proud of

to make the underground
railroad work.

- Such as?
- Please, please, do not do this right now.

Besides this is not
about me or the resistance.

It's about the people
who need Black Lightning.

I need Black Lightning.

There. I said it.

Are you happy?

Grace can't control
her shapeshifting.

And I'm worried that
she'll be captured by the ASA.

- Oh, Anissa.
- Dad.

I love her.

And I would
get her out myself.

But I am still hurt
from bringing Tavon back,

like you asked.

And I know I'm always saying
that I'm a grown-ass woman

and that I've got this.

And most days I do.

But today...

Today I don't.

And I am asking you

to help.

The mainframe is around the
corner, second door on the left.

Let her go. Hey, hey.

Hey! Get off her.

The Marko what? I don't know
nothing about that.

Stay down, old man.

Hey. Leave him alone.

Next house, Sergeant Grayle.

Team bravo, advance.

Take cover.

Team bravo, fall back.

Fire Team Alpha,
lay down suppressive fire.

Well, we were very fortunate
to have you in the area.

You turned my city
into a war zone.

- We don't
execute people in Freeland.

- Let him go.
- You had no right

to commit cold-blooded murder.

I said put him down.

I don't take orders
from you, lady.

Black Lightning, you will obey
my commands,

or I will order enough air
strikes to turn this craphole

into hell on Earth, and I will simply
pick the enemy from the rubble.

Commandos.

Police the area.

Collect our dead.

And you've never
been here before?

No, Grey only
recently gave me access...

Khalil?

Khalil.

He can't hear you.

How is that possible?
We buried him.

It's in stasis.

The most humane thing
we can do is unplug it.

No!

Khalil is still
in there somewhere.

Lynn, stop this.

The Khalil we knew died.

The ASA is gonna know that
you tampered with this thing.

It looks like they completely
wiped his limbic system.

He's got an advanced chip
in his brain.

I've seen experiments
with prosthetics in the blind,

but this... Wait.

I found his memory files,
I'm gonna open one.

His memories are intact.

The Khalil we know
is still in there.

I'm gonna wake him up.

Lynn, let this go, please.

Your staring is less
than professional, Doctor.

Stewart, Lynn Stewart.
I'm sorry, I just...

- Do you recognize me?
- Oh, of course.

Your CV is in my files.

Dr. Lynn Stewart,

prize-winning, respected
neuro surgeon and scientist.

Specialty, meta-humans.

What do you require,
Dr. Stewart?

State your previous missions.

Eliminate the smuggler
known as Sinzell. Check.

Destroy Markovian safe house.
Levelled.

Exterminate
the Blackbird. Done.

Kill Nichelle Payne.

Terminated with prejudice.

Oh, my God.

Is there a problem,
Dr. Stewart?

No, I just need you
to return to stasis,

so I can run a few upgrades
on your brain chip.

That thing killed
Khalil's mother.

You need to shut
this monster down, Lynn,

before the ASA uses it
to slaughter anyone else.

He's not a monster.

Don't call him a monster
or an "it" or a thing

or any other word
that isn't Khalil.

I lost 14 kids, Gambi,
14 people died because of me.

And I won't lose
another person ever again.

I'll save Khalil
if it's the last thing I do.

Lynn. I beg of you
to set your emotions aside.

You should go
before you're discovered.

Or I turn you in myself.

I've given you administrative
rights to the ASA network.

You'll have full access
to the ASA's database,

and all the surveillance
footage from inside the Pit.

I hope in the end,
you'll do the right thing.

When have I not?

Now go.

Peter...

Jen can never know about this.

Man, Jen,
quit playing around.

Tell me what
you know about Jace.

All right,
but first things first.

Touch my hand.

No, that's stupid.

I need to know what happens
when our powers merge, okay?

Why are you still on this?

Do you wanna find
Dr. Jace or not?

Brandon, do your powers
do this with anybody else?

No.

All right.

That's it, that's done.

Now tell me
what you know about Jace.

Okay, do it one more time.

- Stop messing around.
- Just do it one more time

and I'ma tell you.

You know what?

You don't even know
nothing about Dr. Jace.

Get out.

Brandon, you need to chill out,
it ain't ever that serious.

Jace killed my mom,
so, yes, that's serious, Jen.

And I ain't got time
for your games right now.

So here, get out.

Fine.

- It's like that, huh?
- Yeah, it's like that.

Don't slam my door.

This is as far
as I can take you, okay?

Someone else is gonna
guide you the rest of the way.

No, no, no, I don't wanna go
with anyone else.

Don't leave me, Anissa.

Look, I know,

you've been abandoned
in the past, Grace,

and I would never
ever do that to you.

I don't have my powers yet.

So I have someone who is
super strong to protect you.

Who?

I don't know him.

Don't make me go with him.

He'll hurt me
like the other men.

Hey, hey, hey.

Black Lightning
would never hurt you, Grace.

I trust him more than
anybody in the world.

- So can you.
- Grace.

I will protect you.

Let me take you
somewhere safe.

Look. This necklace...

it's very special to me.

And I want you to have it.

Now if you get scared,

you just touch it.

And I'm always with you.

Okay, you gotta go, okay?

We won't be apart for long.

Promise?

Yeah, I promise.

Go ahead.

Gambi just sent the coordinates

of where you can breach
the perimeter.

I'll send them
to you and the Perdi.

All right, tell the others
I'm on my way.

Let's go, Grace.

Black Lightning...

thank you.

Let's go, Grace.

Yeah,
Blackbird told me you'd be coming.

See, I'm still not convinced
I should turn these kids over

to the ASA's boy.

We don't have time for this.

And Judas betrayed Jesus
for a mere 30 silver pieces.

What's the ASA's price
for your soul, Black Lightning?

I don't work for the ASA.

Yeah? Then I'm the first
black Pope.

The ASA is a block away,
they'll be here any minute.

Lord help you if you're lying to
me, Black Lightning.

Now I'll put down my arms.

For I know the God I serve
moves in mysterious ways.

Now He may not come
when you want Him to...

But He's always right on time,
yeah.

I still don't trust
your black ass.

According to
the ASA's schedule,

there's a patrol
to your north.

Turn east on Gibson
to avoid it.

Copy.

You're officially a pain in my
ass, Black Lightning.

Surrender.

Like I said, lady,
I don't take orders from you.

- Drop them.
- No!

Run to the rally point.

- We have zero visibility.
- I'm going out there.

Not without your powers,
you're not.

Sorry, Anissa, but it's way too
dangerous out there for you.

Uncle Gambi, come on.

No, no way, you haven't
recovered enough yet.

Hey, everyone okay?

Yeah.

Wait, where's Grace?

I gotta go find her.

I'm the oldest,
I'll watch the other kids

while you go find Grace.

All right, thanks, Natalie.

I lost Grace.
Anybody got eyes on her?

Negative.

I can't get
a visual on anything,

I've lost her in the fog.

I've got her coordinates,

I'm sending them
to your visor now.

I put a tracker in the
necklace that I gave Grace.

Right here.

What in the world?

Grace.

You came back for me.

Yeah, of course I did.

I told you
I wouldn't leave you.

Okay, Grace, let's go.

Anissa's really lucky

to have such an amazing
family, Mr. Pierce.

I wish that I had a dad
who cared for me

as much as you care
for Anissa.

But how?

I-I keep
my leopard sense of smell

in my other forms.

Your scent matches
Jefferson Pierce's.

But don't worry,
I'll never tell anyone.

Promise?

I promise.

- Let's go.
- I've got them.

The image from the visor
finally cleared up.

Goodbye, Grace.

I know it hurts like hell,

but you did the right thing,
Anissa.

Grace is safe.

That's all that matters.

I'll be fine.

You know, I asked
for a better sparring partner

and they sent me you, Vernon.

A meta-human

with five times the strength
of the average man.

Unfortunately for you,

..I'm no average man.

And that cracking sound

next to your lumbar
vertebrae.

Its nerves connects
your brain to your legs.

That was your T7 thoracic

which controls
your kidneys, spleen...

Hold that thought.
